MUNSTEAD WOOD,

GODALMING.

June 2nd

Dear Mr. Wallace¹

Very many thanks for the nice plants of that capital Eucalyptus. I shall try it as a pillar, on a post & elsewhere. Your stocky blue one looks certainly better than the Gosen one.

I always wonder why there is not that double white Periwinkle — it seems as if it ought to [2] exist.

I am growing a quantity of the newer Snapdragons this year & the better coloured of the China Asters. I used to dislike the old China Asters with their raw pinks & purples & stiff shafes — now, that Cruetes & ostrich plumes in white and lavender colours & soft pinks are lovely & the so called scarlets & those good late big ones Vick's White & the single purple [3] are all first rate garden plants.

I have plenty of Rubus nutkanus thank you, it is capital at the edge of a wood & so is the taller R. odratus.

Yrs sincerely
